it's my life, my decisions
It IS my life right? I spent last night with a couple of friends and their kid (I don't like kids in general, but kids like me for some odd reason and this one is at least a well-behaved and intelligent one), and as I played with the kid the father asked me when I was going to marry and what about having kids. So I told him I was never going to marry because I don't believe marriage has any value except for when you want kids, because then everything's easier. With a shock on his face, he screamed: "What, you don't want to have babies?" I said I didn't (with my temper, it would be a very, very bad idea), and he kept on saying how I would regret it and how stupid I am, as I will not be able to take the decision back when I'm 45.
1. It's my life and I'll do whatever I want with it. And I want to do and see and LIVE so many things, that there just is no place for a baby in there...
2. Yes, I might regret once. You never know. But I still think it's much better to regret NOT having had a kid than to regret having had one... And considering the fact that I really, really don't like babies, and start to accept kids as human beings only at about five or six (still like being exposed to them only for very brief periods of time, and never to more than one at a time), I think the only way for me would be adoption anyway.
3. What's so shocking on not wanting babies in an overpopulated world that's soon going to fight over resources anyway?
Bah. It's my life and I'll do whatever I want with it. It took me a long time to come to terms with myself and I am not giving that up for conventions.
